Totally STUMPED on this. I'm using the 6-14185 OTC.
If I follow the wiring shown below on my older Tubular Operating Track sections, WITHOUT cutting the magnetic coil wire, the Legacy CAB2 accessory control works FLAWLESSLY. That is to say that if I press Aux 1, that triggers the electromagnet (decoupling), and if I press AUX 2, that ONLY triggers the Accessory rails:
BUT if I use the same wiring on a FasTrack Operating Track, pressing Aux 1 AND/OR Aux 2 BOTH trigger the Operating Rails.
And, I DID cut the magnet coil wire and attach a wire to it, which goes to #2 of the OTC. I thought that was supposed to eliminate this problem???? Is this NORMAL?
The Uncoupling works fine by pressing AUX 1. Is this NORMAL? Every
Now, if I use the wiring shown below for the FasTrack Operating Track, it's even worse. When I hit Aux 2 to try and trigger the Operating Rails, all I get is BUZZING from whatever coil is in the operating car ( like my old Reefer Car, or 3469 Automatic Dump Car. I even tried to raise the external power supply above 14 volts to no avail. Here is the wiring I followed:
I might mention that in both cases, neither of these track sections are connected to my layout, but stand alone. I am supplying 14 volts for the OTC's power, from a small Lionel 7H20 transformer, and another SEPARATE 7H20 transformer powering the operating track section. I purposely purchased some new FasTrack Operating Tracks to replace my older worn out tubular operating tracks, but if I can't perform unloading or other actions without uncoupling the car, I might have to stay with the older tubular sections that work just fine with Legacy CAB2 control???
What am I missing? And which one of the wiring is correct??
